Ming Kee Restaurant
Inside Ming Kee Restaurant
Ming Kee Restaurant sits quietly on Ocean Avenue, offering a no-frills, Hong Kong style fast food experience that locals have come to trust for straightforward, authentic Cantonese barbecue. This is a takeout-focused spot with just a smattering of seating inside, often claimed quickly by regulars who enjoy a quick, casual meal on-site. The surrounding neighborhood has mellowed significantly since rougher days, making this a convenient stop for both longtime residents and those passing through the area.
The real draw here is the Cantonese BBQ — particularly the roast duck and soy sauce chicken served over rice. These plates come with simple sides like boiled lettuce dressed in a light ginger-garlic sauce, balancing the rich BBQ flavors. The BBQ pork neck and roast pork belly also earn consistent praise, highlighting skillful roasting techniques that are faithful to traditional Hong Kong flavors. Expect hearty portions at reasonable prices, perfect for those who want to take some home and enjoy a second meal later.
Atmosphere-wise, Ming Kee operates with the efficiency typical of busy fast food spots. The line can build quickly, especially for coveted items like the roast duck, so timing your visit outside peak lunch hours can mean a more relaxed pace. Since parking is scarce, many locals opt to hop on public transit, which fits well with the neighborhood vibe where Ocean Avenue has steadily become more accessible and welcomed.
Dim sum items like har gow and xiaolongbao occasionally pop up alongside the BBQ, and adventurous diners often explore options like roasted squab and soy sauce pigeon for something a little different from the usual Cantonese staples. Desserts, such as sesame rice balls, round out the experience for those who linger just a bit longer.
This spot will resonate most with people who appreciate authentic, no-nonsense Chinese roast meats and who don’t mind a somewhat hectic, grab-and-go style setting. Whether you’re familiar with Hong Kong’s BBQ traditions or discovering them anew, Ming Kee stands as a solid local fixture for quick, satisfying meals that remind you of home-style flavors away from the tourist centers.
